Everyone's Flipping Out Over This Sneak Peek of ABC's Nashville--And I Am Joining Them

OMG, can I set my DVR now to record Nashville, which somehow looks even better than I thought it would be when I heard it starred Connie Britton, Hayden Panettiere and country music?

The ABC upfront just concluded, and while there's a lot of interesting stuff going on--haunted apartment buildings, super high-concept spooky dramas--Nashville was the starry-eyed breakout. Pretty much as soon as it came up at the presentation, Connie Britton started trending on Twitter.

I just watched the trailer twice in a row. The summer feels truly too long right now--but at least I already know what we'll all be gabbing about come fall.

I love that we're getting two A-list female leads so perfectly suited to these parts--and that the show looks like it's going to blend drama and music in a way that'll satisfy our Glee-honed appetites while still being completely cheese-free. Oh, and I love Hayden channeling Taylor Swift, especially hair-wise.
